New York Speeding Ticket Information

If you received a New York speeding ticket, you are now facing points, fines and surcharges, potential DMV penalties, and also increased auto insurance.

How Much Does A Speeding Ticket Cost?

A speeding ticket in New York State costs between $45 and $600. For speeding 1 to 10 mph over the limit the rage is between $45 and $150. For speeding 11 mph to 30 mph, the range is $90 to $300. Finally, for speeding 31 mph or more, the range is $180 to $600.

Every New York speeding ticket carries a court fine, mandatory New York State surcharge and points on your driving record. If you are a repeat offender, the range of fines is significantly higher. The fines listed are for speeding tickets received anywhere in New York State except for the five boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten Island).

Driver Responsibility Assessment Fee (DRA): If you receive 6 or more points as a result of violations that occurred within an 18 month period you will be subject to an additional fine known as the Driver Responsibility Assessment fee (DRA). When you reach 6 points you will be penalized $300. An additional $75 will be imposed for each point after the 6-point mark. This penalty is paid to DMV and is separate and in addition to the court fines associated with your ticket.

At 11 points the NY DMV will suspend your NY license or NY driving privileges (if you live out of state). Any points accumulated for violations which occur within a given 18-month period count towards suspension. If you have a CDL license or a Junior license, the penalties can be even more severe.

Speeding Tickets in NYC

The Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) handles traffic tickets in all 5 Boroughs of NYC ( Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island). In the TVB the points are the same but the fine varies depending upon the nature of the violation. In addition, negotiating a settlement or reduction (known as a “plea bargain”) is not permitted (see below). Read more about NYC Speeding Tickets

How Much Will My Auto Insurance Increase for a Speeding Ticket?

Speeding Ticket Example

Simply put, auto insurance is all about risk. You pay an auto insurance premium so that if you get into an auto accident your insurance provider will pay for the damage. An insurance underwriter’s primary role is to determine what your premium should be based on how likely they believe you are to get into an auto accident. The more traffic violations you have on your record, the greater the risk and the higher the premium. If you accumulate enough traffic tickets, your insurance company could even cancel your policy. Studies by sites such as InsuranceQuotes.com have concluded that your NY auto insurance premium can go up as much as 22% for a single speeding ticket.

Should I Fight My Speeding Ticket or Plead Guilty and Pay the Fine?

In most cases, it is NOT a good idea to plead guilty to the charge. Police officers and prosecutors want you to plead guilty to speeding charges because it makes their job easy. Pleading guilty means you give up your rights to a trial and you automatically have to pay fines, incur points on your license and pay higher auto insurance premiums. Instead of facing these consequences you can choose to plead not guilty and fight your ticket!

In many cases, an attorney can either get you a dismissal (all charges are dropped and without fines or penalties) or a reduction in fines and points. Here are some reasons why you should fight your speeding ticket:

Loss of your employment (if a valid driver’s license or CDL is required)

Will a New York Speeding Ticket Affect Me if I Live in a Different State?

Out of state drivers are subject to the same fines and surcharges as a NY driver. If a driver fails to pay these fines, NY will suspend his or her NY driving privileges and that individual will be barred from driving in NY during that period of suspension or revocation. In addition, the suspension will be reported to the driver’s home state which can also trigger a license suspension from your state DMV. In addition, many states will list out of state convictions (i.e. those that occurred in NY) and assess their own respective points and penalties. Sharing of information between states can therefore result in increased auto insurance rates. Thus, in most cases it is more advantageous to fight a New York speeding ticket even if the driver lives in a different state. Read More

Speeding Tickets in any Location Except NYC

If you received a speeding ticket in any location other than NYC, your ticket will be handled by a city, town or village court. The name and address of that court is listed at the bottom of the ticket (see example here). If you want to fight your ticket, you have to enter a plea of “Not Guilty” by filling out that portion of the ticket and mailing it to the court. The court will mail you a pre-trial conference notice on which to appear and discuss your case with the prosecutor to see if you can agree on a settlement. Note, a prosecutor is not required to offer you a deal and may offer you a less favorable deal if you are not represented by an attorney. Remember, attorneys (like the prosecutor) are skilled negotiators. You also have the right to reject any settlement you are offered and have a trial. The trial will most likely be held on a second or third court date (this means you will have to appear in court more than once). At the trial the police officer will present testimony to support his case. You have the right to question or “cross-examine” the officer. The judge will make a ruling of innocence or guilt. If you are found “not guilty” you will not be required to pay any fines and you won’t get points. If you are found guilty you will get the full amount of points and be required to pay a fine.

Speeding Tickets in NYC

In New York City the tribunal handling your ticket is called the Traffic Violations Bureau or “TVB” (except in a criminal case like DWI or reckless driving – those are handled by the criminal court). In the TVB there are no settlements or plea bargains so if you want to fight your ticket, the only way to do so is to have a trial. Trials are tricky business and best handled by an experienced attorney who knows how to ask the right questions and make the best legal arguments in your favor.

I was driving in a 106 in 65 mph by buffalo with an expired drivers license but I have a renewed license and it wasn’t on me. I’m sure I wasn’t going that fast because i looked at my speed limit as I was passing by the trooper and it read 101. Still triple digits but 41 miles over and 36 miles over is a huge penalty difference. It’s my first time getting tickets and it’s gonna be an automatic suspension. How likely is it that I will win this case?

Eric – Please provide the name of the court so I may advise accordingly. There are two court systems in NY – one of which allows for plea bargaining, the other does not.Due to the serious nature of these consequences (suspension, points, fines, and insurance implications), I suggest contesting this ticket irrespective of what court will ultimately be handling this ticket.

Got tagged going 83 in a 65 with an hill decline to where I got lit up. Cruise was set to 75 but the uphill increase made my gears change and push the speed a little more. Unable to settle back down to normal cruise limit of 75. On my home from overnight shift at work. I do not fight these tickets but afraid of the hefty fine. Any advice would be great. Thank you.

I suggest you contest this as this 4 point violation will likely impact insurance rates, and require the payment of court fines. Please be reminded that traveling but 1 mile over the speed limit is a 3 point violation.

Hello, today I received a ticket on Sunrise Highway going 90 in a 55. This is my first ticket I’ve ever received. I know this ticket is costly, but what I’m more worried about is the points that will be added to my license. How should I pursue this ticket. What are the options for fighting it myself, and/or having a lawyer fight it for me?

Mitchell – you are facing an 8 point ticket that carries fines of $693, and assessment fees of $450. Aside from the impact on insurance, this violation will bring you close to license suspension. I strongly suggest you contest this ticket by pleading not-guilty.

My husband just got pulled over in New York for going 22 over the speed limit and he had to pay $180 on the spot or go to jail. Is that even legal? I mean, seeing as though people are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. We live in Illinois. Please help me because I just dont see that being right.

Hello I received a ticket for going 72 in a 55 on a 2 lane road. I was being tailgated by the person behind me and was hit with laser. I have 2 or 3 points already. What action should I persue. I know of a course caked alive at 25 that can often be taken to reduce impact on ones license. Is this a reasonable option for an offense of this speed?

The ‘alive at 25’ course will not ‘delete’ points from your record. Rather, it potentially provide a credit before license suspension. As you have 2-3 points on your license already, adding 4 point will activate the driver responsbility assessment fee. Additionally, you will be required the pay the fine of $393, and incur substantial impacts to your insurance rates. If you would like to discuss this further, you may contact us for a free consultation at 888-434-0406.

Hi. I received a ticket for going 39 in a school zone, where the speed limit is 25. This is my first ticket ever. Some people are advising me to hire a lawyer, others say to just pay the fine since i have to pay extra money for a lawyer anyways. Is it really such an extra expense? What ahould I do?

Alieshaia – Whether you should hire an attorney is more than a comparison between the price of a lawyer and the total fine paid. Paying the fine will result in 4 points against your license, fines of $693, and a substantial increase in your insurance rates. Additionally, depending on the location of this offense, an attorney will be able to assist you in either obtaining a plea offer from the prosecutor, or conducting a trial on your behalf – both of which will likely not require your personal appearance.

I received a ticket for 96 I a 65, I was pulled over with another gentleman who was ahead of me going fast than myself. The officer said he got me on radar going 96, as i passed the officer i looked abd waz going between 80 and 83mph. I also had my 2 year old in the car with me- I k ow I wasn’t going that fast and wouldn’t ever with my daughter in The car. I think he toom radar on the man in front of me and assumed because I was behi d him I was arou d the same speed. Fight it? I ha e never had any other Speeding or vehicle violations before either. Thank you-

Kathy – I would advise you to contest this violation as this 8 point ticket will have a fine of $600, court fees of $93, and assessment fees of $450. Furthermore, speeding tickets increase insurance rates substantially. How best to go about contesting this ticket will depend on the location of the incident. You may contact us for a free consultation at 888-434-0406 if you wish to discuss further.

I got a speeding ticket for doing 77 in a 55 on the I-495. I already have 7 points on my license. How should I contest this? My deposition makes me look like I plead guilty since it’s says I answered “no.” when asked if I had a legal reason for speeding.

Eunice – As you are facing license suspension if found guilty, I strongly suggest that you contest this ticket. The statements made to the officer are quite common, and we have substantial experience dealing with such a case. It should be noted that you are likely before the jurisdiction of the traffic violations bureau, which does not allow for plea bargaining of any sort. Therefore, a trial must be conducted in order to contest this violation.

Josh – this 3 point ticket has a maximum penalty of $243. Were you intially charged with a hire offense? It appears that you may have been given a ‘roadside reduction,’ as officers rarely issue tickets for this rate of speed.

Hi! I got a 1180D3 ticket for going 90mph in a 50mph on the Long Island Expressway trying to get home. I am very aware of the lumps i’ll have to take, but not sure if I should hire an attorney to reduce any cost/points. I am a PA resident who travels to NY a lot. I’ve postponed the ticket and right before the hearing, it was rescheduled again “Administrative by Office”.

Victor – you are facing an 8 point ticket – 1 mile away from the 11 point ticket bracket. This ticket will result in fines of $688, along with a driver assessment fee of $450. The violation will transfer to PA for insurance purposes – thus significantly increase your rates. I suggest you contest this ticket to provide for a chance of the dismissal of these charges.

Hello,I was caught driving 60 mph in a 25 area by Park police enforcement. I was driving in riverside dr between 125 & 135 st,Manhattan, an empty area where police know that people will be tempted to speed. This was my first speeding ticket. What I’m l risking, and how much do you charge for this ticket?

You are facing 8 points, a fine of $693, assessment fees of $450, and a significant increase in your insurance rates. I therefore suggest you contest this violation. Please give us a call to further discuss your case. 888-434-0406

I received a ticket for going 74 in a 50 zone on the Clearview expressway (violation 1180(D)(2) Its my first speeding ticket and Ive had my license for 14years. Is it worth fighting the ticket? What are the possible outcomes of hiring a lawyer to fight the ticket? What are my chances of getting it dismissed?

Erica – you are currently facing a 6 point violation that will carry a fine of $203, and an assessment fee of $300. Additionally, this ticket will likely increase your insurance rates. I therefore suggest that you contest this ticket.

Ok so I screwed up like big time. I know I’m losing my license and paying at least $1500 but anyway I got 2 tickets both 23 mph over. I got 2 tickets for modified exhaust. A ticket for driving out of class. Bald tire ticket. A ticket for failure to keep right. A ticket for speeding but it wasn’t marked for what speed I did. A ticket for having no back reflector. 8 of the 9 tickets where on my motorcycle. And I have a junior license. I know I’m dumb. I got all these tickets in 3 different stops. Thanks

I live in NJ and drive about 60,000/year for my job in sales. I received a ticket for going 84 in a 65 in NY yesterday. I was trying to get away from a truck that seemed out of control since he kept speeding up and slowing down. He was also swerving. I figured he was probably texting. I’ve seen too many accidents so I went in the left lane to get in front of him, I didn’t want to stay behind in case he lost control. When I switched into the left lane, that’s when the trooper saw me and clocked my speed.

Is there anyway to not go to court and get this citation reduced? It could affect my employment if I receive points on my license.

Amber, while you will be able to contest this ticket, please note that speeding is a strict liability offense – thus eliminating any legal legal defense. It should be noted here that this is a 4 point violation, that will add 2 points to your NJ license. Additionally, this ticket will likely increase insurance rates, and require the payment of $393 in fines.

I was stopped for doing 65 in a 40 zone, I had an 11 year old in the back with 2 other passengers over the age of 18. I was about to get on a state road where it would be 55. This is my first offense and I’ve only been driving for about a month.

SI – you are currently facing a 6 point ticket that carries a fine of $393, along with a $300 assessment fee. Additionally, this speeding ticket will substantially increase your insurance rates. While we understand that roads rapidly change speed limits, speeding is a ‘strict liability’ offense – meaning there are no legal defenses that can be used. In order to provide further information, please provide the name of the court, along with any questions you may have.

HelloMy name is john and I received a ticket in nyc (riverside drive).I was going 43 at 25 mile zone. I see this is 4 points maximum of $ 300. Should I plead not guilty? If so, would they offer any settlement in nyc?

John – The total penalty for this ticket in NYC is $203. NYC is governed by the traffic violations bureau – a court system that does not provide for plea bargaining. However, you may still contest this ticket by presenting your case at trial.

I received a speeding ticket 1180(d) for doing 58mph in a 45mph zone. I already have a 2 points from a previous 13 months prior for 89 in a 55. I already went to traffic school. I would like to know what I might be facing this time around if I plead not guilty. This was in the City of Tonawanda, NY. I am also 21yrs old.

Austin – you are facing a 4 point ticket for this violation. Aside from the fines of $393 for this ticket, this violation will bring you to the 6 point threshhold for the driver responsibility assessment fee. I suggest contesting this ticket to avoid / mitigate these consequences.

Received Speeding Ticket in 2003 in Town Of Poughkeepsie NY 12603. Exited Higher limit road onto side road which had limit reduced recently, cop was waiting by the 30 mph sign. Forgot about it until I found I can’t renew my Florida License until this is cleared up. I have been asked to sign a form with a plea, but have no idea of the fine I will have to pay if I plead guilty, or how it will impact my perfect driving record since I moved to Florida.

I was exiting cold spring New York … It was about a month ago middle of summer school not in session nor were the lights flashing . I had just come off a light and a cop got me for 40/30 in a school zone … I find it hard to believe I broke 40 just 50 yards off of the light .. but I’ve never been to court before and I’m wondering what this is looking like .

I was stopped by police and charged for driving at 85 with 65 allowed in NY state. I am a tourist visiting USA and leaving next week. I gave my foreign (Armenian) license and passport. Should i plead guilty and pay the fine or not guilty (but cant attend court as will be outside of USA already). Do they treat tourists softer/less fines or opposite?

While you are correct in that points will not transfer to PA, the violation itself will – likely causing an increase in your insurance rates. An officer is capable of issuing speeding tickets to multiple cars at the same time. Radar is not the only way that an officer can gauge speed.

Hi,I pled not guilty to a ticket of going forty in a thirty five. I wanted to change my plea because I felt this wasn’t going to be high priced/points anyway. However, the prosecutor said no, that he will change the charge to leaving a vehicle unattended. I took the charge and when the judge asked if I was guilty of the lesser charge, I said guilty. Should I have pled not guilty? I was still charged 250 dollars anyway.

I got a speeding ticket while driving from Virginia to Buffalo New York. I was driving on interstate highway I86. Ticket is for driving 84 miles in 65 miles zone. I would like to know if I decide to fight the fine, how much you will charge and what would be probability of success.

Please contact me at 888-434-0406 to clarify your question. Did you receive the ticket, or did a friend of yours. Irrespective of whom received the ticket, this violation is an 11 point ticket, that carries substantial implications – including fines, insurance increases, and license suspension.

Got pulled over on I87 for 84 in a 65 but there are some circumstances that suggest the trooper’s claim is dubious. Based on his actions and statements I’m confident he wasn’t sure who he clocked and decided to go after the guy with out of state tags. I have no prior offenses. Haven’t been pulled over in more than 15 years. I have out of state tags, but I do live in NYC. Would like to discuss options.

So i have court today at 630pm i pleaed not guilty in hopes to get it reduced the ticket claims i was going 82 in 65 but when the state trooper pulled me over he showed me the radar and it showed 81 was driving in Grand Island, Ny just wanted to see what fines i would be facing so i know how much to bring. it is also my only speeding tickt on record. other was over 7 years ago in Elmia Ny and was reduced after the schooling and a fine of $180.

Hi I just got a speeding ticket for going 64 in a 35 in East Fishkill. This is my first ever ticket and I was wondering what sort of penalties I am facing and what could be avoided by hiring an attorney to defend me. Also, I have a class DJ license.

I was pulled over for doing 64 in a 35 in east fishkill, this is my first ticket and I am wondering what I should do. Also, I have a trip planned to Florida before my court date, am I still going to be able to go on the trip or will I not be allowed to leave. Thanks for the help.

I got a ticket for a 1180D, going apparently 88 in a 65 mph on I-90W. The charge was based on officers “direct observation” and speed verified by “radar”. There is no amount listed on there, just a court appearance date and a place to plea guilty or not guilty. This is my first speeding ticket, no prior on my record besides an accident from 2 years ago. I live in MA and during the court date listed, I will be out of state for military training. What do I do?

I received a speeding ticket in East Fishkill, for going 75 in a 55 zone. I noticed that it says that I needed to mail a plea of not guilty within 48 hours, does that mean that I either have to plead guilty by mail or take in the form with a plea of not guilty, in person?

I received a ticket for Speeding 91 in a 65 on I86, Town of Angelica court in Allegany County NY about an hour drive from my residence in Geneseo. Is it possible to get this reduced to the the 1-10 mph range or less or do they usually just go down one notch so to speak? I’m considering calling the Ada but also am afraid of having to make multiple appearances. Is there a good lawyer in that area?

I got a speeding ticket in 2005 going through the town called Verona. I want to take care of the individual ticket but they are charging me for no license they were suspended was my second ticket. What should I do about this situation when I was living in another state at the time. Please let me know what to do!

Hi, I received a speeding ticket in Broome County. I am originally from MA, but am working in NY. I was wondering what penalties I could face. I was caught at 97 in 65, but I did not think I was going that fast. Regardless, I saw on one site that jail is a possibility. Does that happen? I have had my license for 8 years and have never done anything in which I am at fault. I was also wondering if it impacts my job.

John – You are currently facing an 8 point violation that carries fines of $693, assessment fees of $450, and substantial impacts to your insurance rates. While jail is technically a possibility, we have rarely if ever seen this utilized. I can not speicificaly state how your job will view this violation, as that is at your employers discretion.

I suggest you contest this 4 point ticket, as it includes fines, points, and a substantial impact on insurance rates. Hiring an attorney will allow you to contest your ticket without personally appearing in court

Hi, I was just stopped in Tompkins County, NY going 84 in a 55. (At night, no other cars on the road, which was one lane) I thought I was still in a 65 zone and told the cop that my cruise control was set at 70. He included that in the deposition, which he says will help me out. He also encouraged me to go to court and reassured me that the judge is kind and often understanding. I’m going to the town court next week about the ticket. Any advice?? I’m from out of state, on my parents insurance, and a broke college kid! I was in the last 30 mins of my 6 hour drive and had been coming from a funeral (so it was quite a rough day!)

I got Uniform ticket near Brewster NY for speeding at 85 in the zone of 55. I am not a resindent of New york. I have a clean driving history. I was overtaking the truck which was driving too recklessly and before i overtook him, the truck was going to trash me.couple of times I felt danger on my life behind the truck as it was driving in both the lanes. I decided to overtook and i got the ticket. The officer did not gave any evidence or deposition. The speed is measure on RADAR. What should i do?

I suggest you contest this tickert to mitigate the consequences of this 6 point violation. As speeding is a strict liability offense, there is no actual defense to speeding – other than to assert that the officer is unable to meet their burden of proof. We need more specific information about your ticket to provide you with further information. You may reach us at 888-434-0406.

I got pulled over today in Woodbury, NY by a state trooper. I was given a speeding ticket for going 81 in a 65. I’ve never had a traffic ticket before. If I plead not guilty is there a good chance of getting my ticket reduced? I’d also like to add I’m from upstate New York, so kind of far away.

I’m 22 y/o from Ohio and got pulled over on I-90 in Oneida County going 96 in a 65. Unfortunately I was trying to play ball with the Trooper in the hopes that he might reduce the speed just a little, so when he asked me “how fast do you think you were going”, I replied “probably around 90”. and instead of giving me any kind of break he actually quoted me wrong on the ticket writing that I just simply told him “90” as a matter of fact. What are my options 🙁

You are facing a 6 point ticket that includes fines of $393, assessment fees of $300, and a significant impact on your insurance rates. I strongly suggest you contest this ticket to avoid / mitigate these consequences.

Hi got a ticket on 490 going to Canada from Rochester, doing 93mph in a 65mph zone, no previous offences, and first ticket ever, I was given a supporting deposition and officer did not give me any further information

I am an Ontario, Canada resident. While travelling back from a weekend in Lancaster , I got stopped in Perry, NY for what the officer said I was doing 59 in a 40. First I thought I was in a 45 zone and when I noticed him was going just around 52 and do not think I would have been going much faster then that but not sure when he clocked me. Also on the ticket he wrote down that I was driving a red 2008 Dodge Caravan but I was driving a black and orange 2006 Ford Econoline. Trying to figure out if a 2hr drive to make a court appearance is the smart thing to do?

You are facing a 4 point ticket – that will transfer to Ontario. The penalty for such an offense is $393, along with a substantial impact on your insurance rates. If you are interested in contesting this ticket, we can fight it on your behalf without your required appearance. You may reach us at 888-434-0406 for a free consultation.

I got a speeding ticket going 103 on a 35 on ocean Parkway in Nassau County. Also got a ticket for unauthorized speed contest, reckless driving and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. My license is from Florida and I showed the officer that I had paid the fine from previous ticket he blew me off and said to bring it to court.

Due to the severe consequences of this offense (11 points, $693 penalty, $675 assessment fees, and license suspension), I suggest you contact us immediately to discuss your case. You may reach us at 888-434-0406 for a free consultation.

My 21yo son who is licensed in Maine was stopped on I90 between Rochester and Syracuse going 82 in a 65. He’s got no previous violations and is a student at RIT interning in Syracuse. Any thoughts on what he should do? I’m in Maine, myself.

Hi, I was pulled right on I-90E, I had 94 MPH in a zone with 65 MPH restriction. I m subject of 1180D VTL Section.

I m a Romanian citizen and I have B1/B2 Visa. The police told me that because I m from a foreign country I m lucky and I will not need to make anything.Hi provide me the Uniform Traffic Ticket and he said that this is only for USA citizens.

The speeding violation will apply to you, irrespective of where you are licensed to drive. You need to at least address, if not contest this ticket to assure your driving privileges are not suspended in NY.

Hi. I just got pulled over on Highway 87 near Athens NY. The officer claims that I was speeding 88 instead 65 allowed. I am a very prudent driver and I am sure I drove in this stretch not more than 80. My husband confirms that. I have a clean driving record and I am surprised about this ticket. I am sure that the police has heard this 1000 times. How can I prove my case?

You are facing a 6 point violation that carries fines of approximately $393, along with an assessment fee of $300, and significant insurance implications. Having a clean driving record helps in this jurisdiction. However, that alone will not warrant the dismissal of the charges. Please note – as speeding is a strict liability offense, there are no defenses to the violation itself. There are, however, other methods of handling this ticket to assure you are able to minimize the impact of this violation.

Hi, I got a speeding ticket Upstate NY in Sandokan. The state trooper told me I was doing 70 on a 55mph zone. I was following the car in front of me and didn’t pay attention to how fast I was going. I haven’t had a speeding ticket ever since I got my license 10 years ago. What can this ticket mean in terms of points and fees and what are my options?Thank you

This violation is a 4 point ticket that carries a maximum fine of $300, along with court fees of $93, and a significant impact on insurance. You may either plead guilty to the charges, or plead not guilty in order to contest these charges.

I recommend you plead not guilty to this ticket. You are facing 8 points in NY, 2 points in NJ, a $693 court fee, a $450 DMV surcharge fee and a significant auto insurance increase. By hiring an attorney, you would not have to appear in court.

This is a 6 point ticket which carries a fine of $393 to the court and a Driver Assessment surcharge fee from the DMV for $300. Therefore, your fines if you plead guilty to this ticket would be $693 plus an increase in your insurance costs.

I got a Speeding ticket in Town of Tonawanda, Erie County for driving at 43 mph in 30 mph zone. It is first ticket that I got charged. What will be the points and fine? Should I fight my ticket? Please advise.

This is a 6 point violation in New York. If you plead guilty, the ticket carries a $393 court fee plus a Driver Assessment surcharge fee from the DMV in the amount of $300. Points will not be imposed in Georgia.

I got pulled over early this morning on County Route 97, Suffolk County, clocking 76 in a 55. Less than a year ago I plead guilty to a speeding ticket on I-95 in Warren County for going 10 over. From that I probably have points on my license. To make matters worse, this morning I also received a summons for not changing my address on my license in time. I am slightly freaking out and am seriously considering fighting but I don’t want to lose because I am afraid I came across as unapologetic to the officer.

Jaimie – While I understand your concern, hiring an attorney will allow us to separate you from the officer – thus allieviating any potential issues regarding the traffic stop itself. I strongly advise against pleading guilty to a 6 point violation, as there will be substantial fines, assessment fees, and insurance implications.

Were from Brooklyn September 2015 we were driving in Fishkill ny..before heading out their our their we had checked all of our head and tale lights and plate lights everything was good…on our way back to brooklyn we were stopped by a patrol and gave us a ticket for the plate light not working we told the officer we had made sure that everything was working before heading out their to Fishkill ny to drop of a friend. But that didn’t matter to him. Also it’s the first time we have ever been pulled over…so when we saw the patrol signiling us we got nervous and quickly pulled over but to our left their was too much fast traffic coming from the right and pulling over to our left just seemed quicker and safer… so we paid the 2 light violation ticket but not the one for changing lanes..we plead not guilty…it’s been a year since and we just received a notice for court concerning all 3 violations… what should we do? Does this make any sense?

Hi i got a speeding ticket today at 5:10 am in 5ta avenue in Manhattan. I am from new York. And the police officer told me the post sign is 25mph and i was driving 38mph. I wanna know the consecuences and if i can foght fight to dont get points, thank you

This is a 4 point ticket, which carries a $203 court fee. This ticket can also drastically increase your insurance rates. You do have the option to fight the ticket and look to get this violation dismissed. However, the court is Manhattan does not allow for negotiation, so having an experienced traffic ticket attorney handle your case is best.

Hi I received a speeding violation on the Triboro bridge written by TBTA cop. According to him I was doing 73 in 40 MPh zone. As far as I know they do not use radars and just estimate your speed. Is that true??? And what are my chances here?ThanksRoman

Roman – Under New York law, Police officers have the authority to issue speeding tickets based on visual observation alone. However, I do recommend you fight this ticket. You are facing an 8 point ticket which puts you close to a license suspension, over $1000 in fines and a significant auto insurance increase.

My husband got a speeding ticket on state route 81 in N.Y. state going 72 in a 55 work zone area. What fine cost and points is he looking at for this ticket. On his ticket it is marked traffic infraction the court is Hasting town court (Oswego) plus his license has two point all ready on it is it in jeopardy from this ticket he got?

This ticket carries 4 points and a $693 court fee, as fines become doubled if you are issued a ticket in a work zone. If he has 2 previous points within an 18 month time frame, he will also be subject to a Driver Assessment fee from the NY DMV in the amount of $300. Additionally, this ticket can cause an increase in your insurance premiums over the next few years. I suggest he fight this ticket.

I was coming back from Geneva on I-81 and got pulled over for doing 81 in a 65. I told the cop I was passing two 18 wheelers hence why I was going that fast which he noted. He gave me the ticket and I live in Jersey about 3 and a half hours away. I figured I’d plead guilty and just pay the fine but didn’t realize it would be four points and almost $400 in fines. That’s crazy. It’s also my first speeding ticket and I’ve been driving for 12 years now. What would your suggestion be to do?

I was driving back from Canada and was trying to pass a car from left lane but did not realize that the speed limit for the construction zone dropped to 55. I was initially issued a VTL 1180f 76/55 ticket and UTT but got reduced to VTL 1180f 70/55 after submitting reduction form to DA. The court is Plattsburgh Town justice court. I hold a NJ DL. What kind of panelty and surcharges I am facing. Thanks .

You were facing a 6 point ticket in NY, 2 points in NJ, $993 in fines and a significant auto insurance increase. The court has offered you a reduction to a 4 point ticket in NY, 2 points in NJ, $693 fine and a lesser impact on insurance. However, you could still see a drastic increase in your insurance rates if you plead guilty to this reduced offer.

Live in SI, NY was driving to Rochester, rec’d ticket in 65 mile zone doing 80 at night where. Very hard to see out there. Never ever in 20+ years driving rec’d a speeding ticket, but rec’d one in Avoca, NY. Not sure what to do as I cannot fight this and drive there 5-6 hours for court, it’s a lot for me.

You may contest your ticket without a personal appearance by hiring an attorney to represent you. We will be able to fight this ticket on your behalf – and aid you in obtaining a reduction of the penalties which include 4 points, and a $393 fine.

Im 20m I have a clean record and I was on my way to pick up gf from jfk and officer pulled me over says I was going 72 in a 50 and I wasn’t looking at my speed because I was keeping pace with other drivers. This is gonna add 6 points to my license. I pleaded not guilty but I dont know what to do. happened on 09/16/16 but my hearing is 07/19/17 why is that? I dont live in queens but I live on long island. should I get a lawyer? Im also a college student would that help my case? When should get a lawyer since the hearing is so far away?Violation: 1180-D

Rick – you received your ticket under the jurisdiction of the traffic violation bureau – which generally schedules court dates months after the initial violation. Being a college student, as well as ‘going with the flow of traffic,’ are both not relevant when determining whether you were guilty of speeding in this instance. It is advisable to hire an attorney early into the case for numerous reasons, including – a) assuring that no daedlines are missed, b) providing ample time to research potential defenses, and c) providing ‘peace of mind,’ knowing your ticket will be handled in a professional manner.

Hi. I got speed ticket on 9/30 going Taconic State Pkwy 72 miles on 55 miles zone.I was told either plea guilty and return ticket signed or appear t Chatham Town Court on 10/26/16.It says 1180b which I believe 300max fine plus court surcharge with 4 points.If I get help from Ticket Attorney, will it cost me less than that and get point reduced?

I got a speeding ticket for going 96 in a 65 in a “65 mph zone” in New Jersey, but I have a New York State license. Any idea what the penalty and fines will be? This is my first ticket ever, is this worth fighting?

Max – This ticket is worth fighting. The ticket carries 5 points in New Jersey and will be communicated to New York where the violation will appear on your record. Your insurance company can then significantly increase your insurance rates.

HiGot a 45 mph on 30 mph speed zone uniform traffic ticket in Orange County,NY. Says it is in violation of NYS V AND T LAW. It was by radar and also got a supporting deposition CPL 710.30(1)(A) notice with it. Cop told me to sign and return. Not sure where i go from here or what will I expect with points and fines. I have an option to send it back and plea guilty or not. But a little confused because it says in the plea of notguilty section that if a supporting deposition was gotten with ticket then not to plea not guilty. Also has in caps on ticket page that “A plea of guilty to this charge is equivalent to a conviction after trial.What would be the best way to fight this or pay what I have to just to resolve everything.

John – you are facing a 4 point ticket that carries a fine of $393, along with a substantial impact on insurance. I therefore recommend you contest this ticket to avoid / mitigate the consequences. If you would like clarification on the process of fighting this ticket, you may reach us at 888-434-0406 for a free consultation.

This is a 6 point ticket in New York which gets communicated to New Jersey, where 2 separate points will be imposed. There is a $393 court fee associated with this ticket as well as a $300 Driver Responsibility Assessment surcharge fee from the New York DMV. Pleading guilty to this ticket would also cause an increase in your insurance premiums.

I was given a ticket for 86 mph in a 65 mph zone on I90 E. I am a international traveller from India and do not have a US license. What is the procedure as my matter is scheduled to be handled in Angola court on 10/17/16?

Ritesh – This is a 6 point violation in New York. There is a $393 court fee plus a $300 Driver Responsibility Assessment fee if you plead guilty. By hiring an attorney, you can have these penalties reduced and you would not have to come to court.

Hi,This is for my friend who just received a Speeding ticket stating he was on 84 mph while overtaking in a 65 mph zone. I know it’s a 4 point ticket and the driver has an OH license. What could be the possible outcome. My friend stated he went little above but not this high in speed as it’s stated in ticket. After 30 min of getting the ticket, they stopped at a gas station just to see that the Model of the Car and even the Car license number is incorrect.What are the possible outcomes of fighting this ticket and how to proceed?

Nishant – the mistake regarding your license number / model will be viewed as clerical in nature, and thus not sufficient to warrant dismissal of your ticket. There are, however, other avenues of fighting a speeding ticket.

I am from Massachusetts, I was cited doing 80 in a 65. They had to mail me my ticket because they were having computer issues and the officer had to change cars. What are the chances that the radar may have not been working as well?

Help – I just had the exact thing happen yesterday in the same area. I was passing another car in the passing lane and was not aware that the speed limit had dropped from 65 to 55 in that area of the I81 just before the border back to Canada. The ticket says 79 in a 55 zone.

However the ticket says it was at 5:35 am when it was actually 5:35 pm – how does this affect the violation?

Lilly – typically the time of occurrence plays a significant part, because it is the difference between AM v. PM, it is likely the judge will treat this as a ‘clerical error,’ and thus not sufficient for a dismissal. This does not mean, however, that there are not other methods of fighting your ticket.

I was pulled over going 100 in a 65mph zone early in the morning on I-87 trying to make a job interview. I have a probationary NJ license and this is my first offense. How will this impact me and how long do I have to pay the $600 ticket?

Julia – please be advised of the following: a) You are facing an 8 point violation in NY; b) your license is at risk for suspension due to the nature of this offense and the status of your current license; c) this ticket is $693, along with an additional $450 in assessment fees; d) how long you will be given to pay a ticket is at the discretion of the court. Please contact us with any further questions at 888-434-0406.

I was pulled over saturday in buffalo ny for a speed in zone ticket plus a bunch of other tickets i wasnt even asked about they were just given to ne by the officer but he said i was going 51 in a 30mph speed zone . i only have a permit what should i do? Need answers please

Hi,I received a speeding ticket for going 44mph in a 30mph zone in Buffalo, and this is my first time getting speeding tickets, so what might be the best solution? Do I need to make a court appearance?And I just moved to NYS but my driver license still shows my old address, so I don’t know if they’re gonna mail anything to me.

I was pulled over and given a ticket today for going 86 in a 55. My first ticket and it given to me on a back road rarely traveled. I’m scared I’m going to get a huge fine and a lot of pints on my license!

Hi, I live in Boston, MA and got a speeding ticket today in NYK travelling from niagara falls to boston going at 83 mph in a 65 mph zone (that’s 4 point). Was overtaking a truck and because of the ownhill, the speed increased. This is my first ticket, have clean record in the past and was wondering what to do next? Should i pay the amount or plead not guilty and defend it?

Hey im 16 I was going 65 in a 55 I’m going to plea not guilty because the cop said he’ll try to take it easy on me cuz im so young. and if i do go to court do I need to have a person who is over 18 with me? and if so does that person have to be my parental guardian?

Hi, I got pulled over yesterday evening in Tully, NY, while traveling from Binghamton, NY to Syracuse NY. I was going 85mph in a 65mph area. I had food poisoning and was trying to get back home and to my doctor right away without any of my symptoms acting up. This is my first offense and I’m not sure if I should plea guilty and suffer the consequences.

Alexis – while sympathetic, that is unfortunately not a defense to speeding, as speeding is a ‘strict liability’ violation. You may still contest your ticket in order to mitigate / avoid the consequences.

Hi , I live in the Uk and was caight speeding recently during a c=vacation. It was the first time I’d driven long distance as I was driving from NJ to Toronto. I gaot caught by a stalker dual radar on 1-81NB supposedly doing 85 in a 65 zone. When I got pulled over and he asked what speed I was doing, I said I didn’t know as I just panicked. I don’t believe I was going that fast, but in any case wanted to know what to do. The speeding fine having looked it up looks like $300. The court I need to fax the response to is Cortlandville County Court. Any suggestions?

Hi. I was on I-87 and passed over a police car with speed 85 mph. The police stopped me and issue ticket for speeding in zone with 55 mph. It was no zone and max speed limit on I-87 is 65 mph. The Police officer told me that I exceed max speed for 20 mph but on ticket put 55 mph for speeding in zone which gives me 30 mph over the limit. Basically he lied to me. What should I do?

The maximum penalty for this offense is $393. While jurisdictions vary widely, you may contact the court to attempt to expedite the resolution of your case. Please note – you may contest this ticket even if you leave the state.

I have an Missouri drivers license. I have received a speeding ticket stating riding at 73mph on 55mph zone in New York State. I am not sure how to move on this. I cannot appear for court hearing as i don’t live in NY.

And also I am not sure how to move on this whether to Plea of Guilty or Non Guilty. I understand It affects with 4 points and $393 fee and Insurance as well.

Could you please suggest me to contest the ticket to avoid these consequences.

Tonight my girlfriend was clocked at 80mph in a 65. She did not admit guilt when the office said how fast she was going.In fact very few words were said between the two. He came back from his car and said I wrote you a ticket for going 80 in a 65. This was at night sept 4th. Any advice

Even if you are traveling down a hill, you can still be issued a ticket if you are exceeding the posted speed limit. This is a 4 point ticket which can significantly increase your insurance premiums. However, if you plead not guilty, you do have the opportunity to fight this ticket and get it reduced and/or dismissed.

I have received my court date schedule today 9/19/16 from the mail .It say that my court date was on 9/03/16 how ima go to court if the court date past already and i received the court paper today? Can i call to inform them of the situation? Will they let me reschedule…Im in Batava ,Ny 14020

Driving 84 in a 65 zone, the officer wrote down my German hometown as first name. However the address is the address of the rental company. So the ticket will arrive there and they will charge my credit card, because I rented that car and the last name matches. Should I plead guilty since I am not living here anyway and then pay this fine?

Rem – If you plead guilty, you will be assessed a $300 court fee plus a $93 administrative fee. Although this ticket will not be communicated back to Germany, it would be 4 points on your record in New York. I would consider fighting this ticket.

I was clocked last night at 61 in a 35 mph speed zone, however the police officer wrote the ticket for 61 in a 55 mph zone. I have a clean record, however I need to redo my defensive driving (which expired a few months back). Is it better to just plead guilty, take the 3 points and then redo defensive driving to eliminate them? Or plead non-guilty and fight to have it reduced?

Kerri – are you certain the officer wrote you the ticket for 61/55? I suggest you contact us to discuss further. I would advise you to e-mail us a copy of your ticket so we can be sure of the specific charge against you.

Hi i got a speeding ticket in Albany for going at 90mph on a 65mph limit. This is my first offence. I’m not sure what to plea. Also, i’m not currently living in the US and am leaving in a week. Any advice?

I was on the LIE going 60mph which is marked as 55mph on the highway. My pregnant fiancée started cramping and needed to use the restroom. There was a bit of traffic in front of me and saw that it was a clear road ahead with the next exit being a mile away. I overpassed the cars in front of me and accelerated to 85pmh and then reduced back my speed. Unfortunately the cop pinged me using LiDar at 85. Though I did explain the situation of why I was going fast, I have a summon to go to court for speeding 20 miles over the speed limit. Any advise is appreciated. Thanks

Keith – I suggest you contest this ticket to avoid the points & insurance implications. While sympathetic, your situation is not a defense for speeding. Thus, the approach to handling your case must be done through cross examination of the officers testimony, rather than an emphasis on your reasons for speeding.

My husband got a speeding ticket on November 22,2015. He is out of the state right now and I wasn’t aware of his hearings. I received a letter saying that his license will be suspended 9/12/16 failure to answer ticket. I want to know if I can pay the $40 cash bond and have an attorney represent him?

I received a speeding ticket in a school zone and I went to trial. I was offered a reduced violation but didn’t accept it. Hence going to trial. Well, I wasn’t adequately prepare since I didn’t really know what to expect other than what little info I found on line. Needless to say, I lost and have 6 points and a driver assessment fee as well. I can’t afford either. Can I write to the judge and ask to do community service? Can taking a defensive driver course get the assessment fee waived. I was charged with disobeying a traffic device (rolled through a stop sign about a year or two ago.)The sign for the school didn’t allow enough time to reduce speed in a reasonable amount of time. It was nearly on top of the school. In court, the officer stated the hours were 7am-7pm but the sign says 7-6pm. The school that is located 1 mile in another direction has a sign that says, school zone speed limit 15 mph. NO posted times and again this sign is posted when you are at the perimeter of the school property. No time to reduce from 30-35 to 15 without slamming on your brakes. There are also a number of other local schools in close proximity from my residence and again no times posted, signage without ample distance to reduce speed. There is no consistency at all. If a driver doesn’t frequently travel the route where the sign is posted with the times they would not be aware of the times especially when the driver travels past a couple of schools along their daily route and those do not have times posted. Any assistance would be helpful. I’m on disability so between the fine and driver assessment fees they are equivalent to an entire month of my benefit amount. That being $1047.00 month.

Edmund – while you may contact the court in an attempt to obtain a sort of payment plan, the legal arguments you present will unfortunately not be relevant at this juncture. The defensive driving court will not remove any assessment fees.

Hi i was pulled over for speeding in Yonkers last month. The cop initially said it was 55 in a 40, however on the ticket it looks like he drew a zero over the 5 and put a dash through it. The ticket is very confusing, and looks more to be a 50 in a 40 than a 55 in a 40. Should I contest this ticket and will the typographical error help me in this case?

Hi,I am a NJ driver got a NY speeding ticket for driving 91 in a 65 MPH Zone on Liberty, NY 12754, Sullivan County, section 1180D. This is my first ticket so far, is there any way to have no points added? Or reduced fine/points added? Do I need a lawyer? What should I plead?

Ravi – I suggest you plead not-guilty and contest this 6 point ticket. 2 points transfer to NJ, and this will likely impact your insurance rates. You may contact us for a free consultation to discuss your options at 888-434-0406.

I received a speeding ticket fro going 78mph in 55mph zone. The policeman pulled over 4 other cars at the same time. When he asked me what i thought I said i thought the speed limit was 60-65 and that I was not beyond 70. I am from Canada.Is there a way to reduce the ticket and a way to avoid the DRA if I plead guilty to up to 70mph?

In order to provide information, we need to know what court will be handling this case. Generally speaking, this is a 6 point violation that will transfer pooints to certain provinces in Canada. Since you are looking at a 6 point ticket, the DRA will apply.

Hi!Got clocked in Orange county on I-87 with 87m/h on a zone of 65m/h.Already have 7 points from previous cases (not speeding) and have to pay DRA fee.Of the 7 points 5 are due this October because of the 18 months passing, however I have to answer this actual speeding ticket by September.What are my chances here? Will I be able to fight this ticket or I have to face the maximum charges?Will I have to pay an other DRA fee, or I have a chance with the point reduction safety class?Thank you!

Speeding ticket in NJ vacation town. 60 in a 45 after 11 at night. Bottom of mile long hill coming over a major bridge where apparently the speed changes coming from major city into small community. Very young cop, very nervous for some reason. Cannot read 90% of the ticket. Clean NY license, no tickets. How do I avoid points and NY DMV notice?

You are facing an 11 point violation which will result in the suspension of your driving privileges if convicted. This suspension will unfortunately transfer to PA. I strongly suggest you contact us at 888-434-0406 to discuss your case in further detail.

Today I got a speeding ticket in Lynbrook, NY. I was told I was doing 50mph in a 30mph zone, I was driving with my older brother as I have a permit, and he has a license of course, and we were practicing around the neighborhood… I wasn’t as mindful as I should’ve been, huge mistake. What will happen? What should I do?

My daughter got a ticket in Roscoe,NY on 8/1/16. The officer said she was going 85 in a 65pmh zone. She usually doesn’t drive that fast. He then said he hates the Patriots abd was giving her a ticket fir the sticker in her rear window. It is on the drivers side directly in line with the headrest and it is see thru. She spent over an 1.5 hrs at a hyuandai dealership the next day having them authorize the sticker ticket & they never has seen a ticket like that in 30 years. She is 20 years old. This is her first ticket & she did take defensive driving in July of 2014 before she got her drivers liscence on 8/3/2014. What will be the ramifications for her? She starts school the week of the court appearance and it is now over 48 hrs to claim not quilty.

I received a ticket for going 67 in a 40. I did not know it was 40 MPH. I have lived here all my life and though it was 55. I could not find where it was posted as 40, and felt coerced by the officer to mail in a guilty plea ASAP. Reglardless, I never received a ticket for anything in my 25 years of driving. I have no idea what to do next. The ticket is very confusing to figure out. It has an In-person date and time for an appearance, but also has a request for a deposition in the “not guilty” section that says I will receive a court date in the mail. What should I do?

Jen – This 6 point ticket entails fines of $393, assessment fees of $300, and substantial insurance implications. Unforatuntely, confusion about the speed limit is not a defense to speeding. However, your clean driving record will play an integral role should you choose to fight your ticket. You may reach us at 888-434-0406 for a free consultation to discuss your options in further detail.

I was charged for over speeding on I-81 as the radar caught me driving at 98 mph on a 65 mph. The officer asked me if I knew why he had stopped me, and I said for over speeding. However since I was absolutely positive that I was at a 80, I said the same when he asked me at what speed was I driving. I previously have 3 points on my record. The case being handled by the Corlandville town court, NY. I was also provided with a supporting deposition speeding (Gen101) by the officer.Could you suggest me what’s my best alternative?

Sam – you are facing a 6 point ticket that carries fines of $393, along with an assessment fee of $300. 2 points will be transfered to your NJ license. Additionally, this will have a substantial impact on your insurance rates. We are not licensed in Ohio, and therefore can not advise you on that state’s laws.

John – you are facing a 6 point ticket that has $203 in fines, $300 in assessment fees, and significant insurance impacts. In order to contest this ticket, you must bring the matter to a trial where you will have the opportunity to cross examine the officer accusing you of this violation. We are able to provide assistance, and would be happy to discuss further. You may reach us at 888-434-0406 for a free consultation.

Hello I was driving through the town of Platts burgh new York I believe on the 90w I got pulled.over for going 78 in a 65mph. Court is 8/11/16. Do I contest it what are my fines looking like and points on my license.

Sarah – you are facing a 4 point ticket that carries fines of $393. Aditionally, this will impact insurance rates substantially. I therefore suggest you consider contesting this ticket to avoid these penalties.

Hi there – I received a NYS ticket for going over the speed limit a few weeks ago. I paid it promptly. I don’t remember how much over I was going, but it amounted to 6 points. I do not have a NYS license, I have a Rhode Island license. I got a letter recently saying that my NYS license will be suspended come August for failure to pay the drivers responsibility assessment. This fee is $100 annually for 3 years or $300 in full. My questions:1. Will this affect my RI license or ability to obtain a different state’s license in the future? (driving record, points, etc)2. Will this affect my insurance?3. Do I have to pay this even if I don’t intend to ever drive in NYS again?

Keri – 1. Yes, the violation will transfer over thus impacting insurance rates and potentially the points in your home state. 2. This will impact insurance rates. 3. If you do not pay this violation, your license will be suspended in NY. Suspensions transfer between the states – thus – your RI license will be suspended as well.

I received a ticket in staten island ny for disobeying a traffic control device. i am a female and the cop put male in the section of gender. is this reason for dismissal? or should i just save myself the aggravation and penalties if found guilty and pay the stupid ticket?

Lauren – this will not likely result in a dismissal of the ticket, as it will be seen as a clerical error. It is still possible to contest this ticket on other grounds however, and we would be happy to discuss it with you in further detail.

HI, I’m 19 almost 20 I just got my first ticket for speeding I have a clean record and only have been pulled over one other time to be informed of a light out and the officer just gave me a warning then. I was driving my mom’s truck with her as the passenger. The trooper that pulled me over, clocked me at going 80mph in a 65mph on Interstate 86 East. My court appearance is on August 11th at North Harmony Town Court. I know its 4 points on my license and a max $300 fine. What would my best option be to deal with this ticket?

hi i got a ticket today the code for the ticket is “1180d speeding in zone”i was caught off guard by lights behind me and the radar showed me at 46 mph in a 30mph zone and i was going fast only cause i thought he wanted me out of his way so i pulled over to let him pass and he stops behind me too and gets out and i get a ticket

Danjr – 15 mph over the limit is a 4 point ticket. The fine ranges based on the location of the incident. Generally speaking, the maximum penalty for this violation is $393, along with a significant impact to your insurance rates. Non-moving violation fines vary widely, but generally have less of an impact on insurance.

Hi Adam,I got a ticket for driving 86mph at a 65mph zone, going north on I87 at Lake George.I was with my family in the car so even if I was going faster than 65mph I am almost sure I wasn’t going 86mph.I wasn’t looking at my speed when the officer pulled me over but he told me I was going 82mph then I slowed down and then I accelerated again, which was probably when I was passing a car.I am not sure about my speed, which makes it hard for me to decide if I should fight it or not.Do you think I should fight this ticket? do I have a case here?

Speeding is a strict liability offense – meaning there are no legal defenses. However, the officer must prove that you were in fact speeding. Since this is a 6 point ticket that has significant fines and penalties, I suggest you contest this matter.

hey, i got a ticket for 88 or a 55 and a broken tail light. i was speeding but i wasn’t doing 88. I was doing like 65 to 70. The car i was driving was my friend’s car. The car back wheel shocks were messed up and it had a accident at the side that make the car fender rubbing and touching the tire if i speed that fast. i have pictures too to show that

Mahesh – this 4 point ticket has a maximum fine of $300, along with a court fee of $93. This ticket will likely impact your insurance rates. I therefore suggest you contest the ticket to avoid these consequences.

Hi Adam, I got a 1180D for driving at 85( as per the cop, i may be off by a few miles, but not 85 for sure) in a 65 zone on I-90. The deposition details “Stationary Front radar at mpm 157, visual estimate 85mph. Radar digital display confirms 85 mph in a clearly posted 65 mph zone”. I live in and hold a Rhode Island license, but the ticket is to be handled at Rotterdam city in Schenectady County. I know it’s 4 points on my record and a max of $393 fine. I have following questions.1. Will it increase my insurance?2. Plead guilty or not-guilty.3. If i plead not-guilty what are the chances of reducing the ticket to a substantially lower amount and to 0 points.4. Does your firm provide representation at the Rotterdam town, so that i don’t have to travel and waste time?

Manas – 1) This violation will likely increase your insurance rates, 2) I suggest you plead not guilty; 3) We can not speak for what your chances are here – as we need more information about your ticket and driving history; 4) We regularly appear in this court.

Hello, I have just received my lisence probably 2 months ago. About two days ago, I was caught speeding doing 40 on a 30 speed zone. I was driving 38 in what I thought was a 35 speed zone since I was unfamiliar with the area but I guess I was wrong. Now I have a summons. What charges am I probably facing if I plead guilty?

Hi, I was coming from Williamsport Pa. And I was puller over by a North Danesville police officer. I slowed down before I passed him. He said I was going 81 in a 65 speed zone. But before he pulled me over he stated he followed me over two miles after I slowed down. How much would my ticket be if I plead guilty? Also I have a Florida’s license.

This ticket is 4 points and has a fine of $300 plus a $93 administrative fee. If you plead guilty to this ticket, it will appear on your record in Florida and can negatively impact your insurance rates over the next 3-4 years.

I received a speeding ticket near Covington NY on our way to Montreal. I have a clean NJ drivers license and the NY State trooper was parked in the trees off the highway at the bottom of a steep decline. He told me that I was doing 84 in a 65 and I disagree. Looks like it will be a 4 point ticket and God only knows how much it will cost. ! He listed 85 in 65 on the ticket too after saying 84, not that it matters.

I thought it was unfair for the officer to ticket the speed so high with such a steep decline, not to mention the fact that I have 3 family members on the NJ police force. (which I did not mention).I was driving with cruise control for the entire 5 hour drive and there was a fully loaded logging truck pulling onto the empty highway, so I pulled into the left lane to give him clearance and must have tapped my brakes before doing so, which would have stopped the cruise control.Very frustrating and frankly upset with the NY state trooper for the severity and lack of any leniency, especially with our 7 year old being polite in the back seat and my wife and I being polite as well.Anyway, Please advise and since it is so far for me to appear in court it may be something that I would really like to have you handle.Regards,Les

Amos – You are looking at a 6 point ticket, which carries a $300 court fee, $93 administrative surcharge fee, and a $300 Driver Responsibility Assessment fee. This ticket can also cause a hike in your insurance rates by as much as 20-25%.

I got a speeding ticket close to Syracuse for going 90 in a 65. I have a Pennsylvania state license so I got an out-of-state ticket and it did not indicate the fine I would be facing. Any idea what to expect?

I received a ticket on I-290 outside of Buffalo for going 71 in a 55. Is it advisable to plead not guilty? What are the fines for this Offense? I live in Connecticut and this would be a long drive to fight the ticket.

You are facing a 4 point ticket that carries a fine of $393. Additionally, there are significant insurance implications associated with this violation. I therefore suggest you fight this ticket to avoid / mitigate the consequences.

Hello, I was going 105 in a 65 (yikes i know, I really don’t think i was going past 90, but thats what he said).This was in seneca, NY. The court is junius court. I don’t have money for a lawyer. I am okay with losing my licence but I would still like to fight it to get the lowest possible charges. What do you advise?

I also got an obstruction of view ticket and a not using my blinker ticket (i definately did use my blinker though)

Adam, what do you think? Caught doing 80 in a 65 on State Rte 17 in Wurtsboro. I had just switched with my friend who was tired of driving and was getting used to driving his brand new Jag XJ when I got caught in the speed trap. Mamakating Town Court /Sullivan County. Worthy of your services?

I’m a PA resident and while visiting NY on June 11th, I received a speeding ticket on I-86 (Cattaraugus County) for doing 90 in a 65. As far as I am aware, I have no points in PA, and I definitely have no points in NY. As this is my first speeding ticket in NY, what kinds of fines am I looking at, and which would be cheaper, paying the fine, or enlisting your services? I have never had a speeding ticket in NY previously. My last speeding ticket in PA was back in 2014.

This morning I was given a ticket at 7:27am on the Southern State Parkway in Nassau county. I was going with the flow of traffic, but the ticket states the charge was based on Officer’s direct observation and verified by his radar. He clocked me at 76/55 (1 mph enough to bump me into another NY ticket class). I live in Utah and was visiting.Can you tell me:1) the likely ticket costs associated with it?2) if and how the points will transfer to Utah?3) should I contest?4) my license plate on the rental car was a Mississippi plate. In your experience, our officers likely to pull over an out of state car as they are less likely to contest?

Chris: 1) The ticket will cost $393 + $300 assessment fees. 2) We are not licensed in UT, and thus can not advise you on how many points, if any, transfer. 3) I suggest you contest this matter to mitigate the fines and insurance impact. 4) While that is very possible, it is also not illegal.

Hi. I received a speeding ticket for going 74 in a 50 in Staten Island. On the ticket it says it’s 1180d and it says 74 in a 50, but when I pleaded Not Guilty online it says the ticket was for 31+ over the speed limit and carries 11 points. Shouldn’t it be 11-30 and have less points? Who made this error? Can I use this to get the ticket dismissed? Thank you.

I received a speeding ticket for going 74 in a 65. I was travelling in NY state just passed the PA line into New York. It was Chatauqua county Town of Portland. He told me I was looking at No fine, and 1 point. Is this right? I don’t want even 1 point as my license has been clean for some years now. please advise…

I posted a question yesterday. It was in moderation, but it seems to be gone? Cortland County, Marathon got speeding ticket for 75 in a 65 on I-81, deposition states “PASSING LANE, ACTUAL 93/65”. Not sure how this type of situation will be handled in terms of points/fees, as ticket itself says defendant speed: 75 in 65 mph zone. I have a clean record.

I received a ticket while driving from NYC to Montreal. I am Mexican, I live in Mexico, the car was rental, I was passing a huge line of cars and the officer said I went at 91 MPH in a 65 limit. What are my options? I won’t need to rent a car again but I want to know if I will be in trouble whenever I enter the US again. I come very often. Thanks!

Hi,I got a speeding ticket for going 89 in a 65 on interstate 87 in NY, section 1180D. I am 17 and have had my license for 4 months, is there anyway to have no points added? Or reduced points added? Do I need a lawyer? What should I plead?

You are facing an 8 point ticket that will result in a significant amount of penalities, assessment fees, insurance impacts, and potential suspensions. I strongly suggest you contact us for a free consultation to discuss this in further detail.

Honestly I have no Idea how these guys do it. I went from 4 point ticket speeding in a school zone, which I assume would be a double point double fine type of situation, to a NO POINT NO FINE parking ticket... I am in complete shock, and I am extremely happy that I chose Rosenblum Law Firm to represent me.read more

I got a speeding ticket and four points on my license. Rosenblum Law Firm was able to reduce it to zero points (and pay a small fee instead)! My lawyer helped me throughout the process. I would not have had such a good outcome without their help. Thank you!read more

I can’t express how thankful I am that I came across you guys by accident on Google. After reading a couple of reviews, I had some hopes that you guys would exceed my expectations. I’ve never had a speeding ticket until I moved away from NY and I started to visit my family once a month. I decided to take a chance on a local lawyer new to the field and I was so disappointed. I wish I had came across you guys way earlier then I probably wouldn’t have had any speeding tickets to begin with. After getting my second speeding ticket, I knew I needed a better lawyer this time because I wasn’t willing to take any chances again. I was being tailgated by a driver from NJ so I decided to speed up and get into the right lane thinking the driver will no longer tail gate me but I was wrong. After getting into the right lane and still tailgating me, I decided to speed up and so did the driver from NJ.Needless to say, he took the next exit and before I even got to tap on my brakes I saw the cop around the corner. He didn’t even give me a chance to explain but instead gave me the nice fat ticket. I’m glad I found the Rosenblum Law Firm and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of my case. I will definetly use you guys again (god forbid I don’t need to again) in the future. I’ve already recommended you guys to a friend and I will probably continue to do so to. I can’t thank you guys enough cause now I can have peace of mind and that ticket was a big headache. You guys are definetly worth the money and I think the price is more than reasonable!read more

I got a ticket going 20 over I-95 Rosenblum Lawfirm was able to reduce that 4 point ticket to a 0 point ticket. Got a second ticket same highway they are also handling that one as well I’m very optimistic that they’ll get me the best plea deal. Price is worth it to keep your record and license clean. All lawyers and representatives are very friendly and informative. Highly recommended.read more

Phenomenal outcome. Phenomenal Service. I live in Montreal, Quebec, and while crossing the border into Canada from NY, a state trooper handed me 3 tickets for operating without a license, operating without valid registration, and operating without insurance (a misdemeanour). Needless to say I was extremely frustrated and worried about this situation, and felt I had a case to fight for in court. I came across Rosenblum Law Firm, and seriously, I am extraordinarily fortunate to have hired them to handle this case. They managed to get the court to dismiss all but one charge (for operating out of class), which carries no points and a max fine of $300. While the entire team did an amazing job, Adriana specifically needs a shoutout from my end, and while I'm not the kind of person to take to the internet to write reviews, the work absolutely requires some validation on my part. Do not hesitate. Do not worry. Call them, ask questions, they will get you answers. I honestly believe they will solve your problem. Thank you to everyone at Rosenblum Law.read more

Very happy with the service. I just sent them my ticket and paid the retaining fee, and they managed to get a not guilty verdict. As the date of my hearing was approaching, and I was getting anxious, they always answered my e-mails and calmed me downThanks you very much!!!read more

This law firm does a great job and helps you through the whole process. Everything is handled professionally and carefully. I am very happy I chose them and highly recommend them to anyone else.read more

I hired Rosenblum firm for my daughter after she recieved a speeding ticket in Greenburg NY. This firm was not only EXPEDITIOUS calling me back after I completed an online inquiry, the retainer was EXTREMELY reasonable, everyone associated within the firm is AMAZING. Moreover, daughter received 0 POINTS... NY is so different from NJ, but because the Rosenblum Firm also practices in NJ, they understood the importance of preserving my daughters new NJ probationary license requirements. THANK YOU ROSENBLUM FIRM...... You all are PHENOMENAL!!!read more

Thank you Adam for taking the time to talk to me on the phone so promptly and honestly. I received a traffic violation in Canandaigua, NY and have traffic court tomorrow. I emailed this firm with a question of whether or not to get a lawyer. I received a very prompt telephone call from Alan Rosenblum. He was caring, concerned and genuinely interested in what I had to say. Thank you for the complimentary advice. I highly recommend them and will call on them again if needed.read more

Dealing with the Rosenblum Law Firm has been a very pleasant experience. I was facing a 6 point speeding ticket, and they were able to get it dropped to a 0 point violation! Highly recommended!!read more

Attorney from Rosenblum Law, helped me with my speeding ticket on I-495 in NY while being a NJ resident. Would've gotten 6 points in NY and 2 points in NJ if it wasn't for the firm! It took less than a week to get the issue resolved and I didn't even have to appear in court! Definitely recommend this law firm for any moving violation in NJ or NY.read more

Rosenblum Law Firm provided absolute professional representation with my traffic ticket in NYC Traffic Court. I was given a ticket while moving on a green light making a turn only to be pulled over for , not proceeding with caution in a pedestrian walkway, no one ever stops walking across the street in these situations. They handled this clearly with the court.read more

I was facing three equipment violations (tinted windows) and a 4 point speeding ticket. Needless to say i was stressed out about it after i received the ticket. I inquired with Rosenblum Law Firm and did not delay in retaining them. I did not feel comfortable going to court without representation, i hear these officers go to court and they just read what they did to the judge while he nods in agreement, and then the judge says you're guilty. Well at this point, why NOT retain a traffic lawyer, and that was a good decision because my charges were all dismissed, No Points, No Fine! Thank you Rosenblum Law Firm for representing me;!read more

What better firm to trust your sort comings for traffic tickets with that Rosenblum Law Firm. The process was easy and from the very first day after speaking with a team member you already get the feelings you won the case and you have absolutely nothing to worry about. HIGHLY Recommended!read more

My son received 3 traffic tickets so we contracted the Rosenblum Law Firm. First, was dismissed, 0 pts, 0 fines. Although, second was not dismissed and had to pay a fine; at least pts did get reduced. Third one, we're still awaiting the outcome and know the Rosenblum team will do their best to get it dismissed. I definitely recommend them and will always keep their number handy.read more

I received 6 tickets at once and was completely overwhelmed! I was referred to the Rosenblum law firm by 2 different friends. Once I contacted them I was put completely at ease. They were very professional and accommodating. And best of all they got my tickets reduced to zero point! And they were very reasonably priced! All in all a great experienceread more

I received a ticket last April for talking on my cell phone. (5 points!). I sent it in to Rosenblum along with their fee. They told me my court date was set for April 3018. Just yesterday I received an email from Rosenblum saying my case was dismissed and there is no fine. Oils I ask for anything more? I was most satisfied with and most appreciative of whatever they did.read more

I was pulled over for speeding on the Manhattan Bridge, Chinatown bound. I honestly couldn't confirm nor deny the ticket. All I know, is that the consequences of just pleading guilty will bear a significant financial burden on me, both immediately and down the road; with points and surcharges. I was skeptical at first, for I've never had any experience with hiring a representation for any court matter. I thought to myself, I know what's the worst that could happen...but what about the best case scenario? The upside is far greater, for me not to take a shot. That's when I turned to Rosenblum Law Firm. From the moment we were in contact, I knew I made a good choice. They were very professional in the sense that, they never made any promises. Each case outcome is different, so how could they? The only resource I had available were the countless positive reviews and testimonies from past clients. But that's only second to the fact that they have the number of years and experience to go along with these reviews. Needless to say, I brought them on board, and just let them do what they do best. Yesterday, I received the outcome of my case. I'm very happy to say that all violations were dismissed, and I received 0 points and $0 in fines. Now, I cannot tell you what to do, because that decision is entirely up to you. All I can say is, if you're on the fence whether to hire them or not, I would say go ahead and do so. Sometimes, we just have to let the professionals and experienced, do what they do best.read more

Incredible customer service. Went above and beyond to give me the information I needed to make the best choice, and guided me with care and professionalism. Would say I'd use them again but hopefully I don't need to fight a ticket ever again :P (knock on wood!)read more

I honestly would recommend the Rosenblum Law Firm! My experience was great: After a red light and accident ticket, I choose the Rosenblum Law Firm to represent me in defense, and I'm very pleased with the outcome, the ticket was completely dismissed. I found a polite and professional staff that were great at listening and keeping me informed as to the status. They saved me time, money, points.Thank you Mr. Adam and all your staff members that contacted me!read more

Great people! The staff is very courteous and professional. I spoke with one of their lawyers shortly after I got a ticket for using my mobile in NYC. The lady with whom I spoke was a good listener; she let me explain to her what led to my getting the ticket, and my concerns about my driving record. She advised me about the seriousness of the violation and all possible outcomes. Finally, my ticket was dismissed, and I didn't need to appear in court. Except for that one phone call, I handled all of the attorney's requirements online- required documents and office fee. My advice to anyone who seeks their services is do everything exactly as they say and BE PATIENT! Thank you so much! You brightened my day.read more

I had a NY speeding ticket which could have brought in 4-6 points, and I live in NJ... They represented me, and I never had to face any court appearance, they cleared all my six points, and I only had to take an online defensive course test.. They had also given point reduction guarantee right at the outset failing which they would return my money back... Awesome and professional service... they thrilled me when all points were dismissed..read more

I want to personally thank The Rosenblum Law Firm for taking my case with a speeding ticket I recieved in Staten Island. I am not sure if you have read online; but that is one of the hardest location's to fight against in New York. The team was very thorough on the procedures on how they would go when fighting cases like these. They worked very hard for my case and I received the happy news that my case was resolved! No points and no fine was required from me!! Now I cannot guarantee your situation will go as well as mine; but I can guarantee The Rosenblum Law Firm will try their hardest for you. Again thank you very much!!!read more

A great experience! I had a court appearance scheduled the next day and didn't know what to do. I found The Rosenblum Law Firm on line and called at 11:00 p.m. They called me first thing in the morning and it turned out that they had someone at that very court that morning. I paid a fee and their attorney took it from there! I knew it was 50/50 I could win or lose, but I was glad to have Rosenblum Law Firm in my corner. They stood by me, and I just got my dismissal note. Thank you Rosenblum Law Firm!read more
